Superfetch was one of several features that were brought in to help speed up the process on slow computers. Same with pagefile. Microsoft should really spend some time re-evaluating them.

I'm sorry but you are incorrect I think. SuperFetch is only an elaboration of the XP Prefetcher task (What is Windows SuperFetch). It would be unwise to change it.

The pagefile isn't generally interesting any more (since 20 years or so). You need a small one (400 MB) to create crash dumps but that is it. It was never meant for performance - it was to allow paging of agreed virtual memory somewhere when there was no space in RAM and only if the need arose. If you have enough RAM your pagefile will not be used.

Even up to 10 years ago I used to force certain (small) tables (currency exchange rates and so on that didn't change much) into memory as I thought I knew better than the OS - not any more. The guys who write memory management algorithms are far clever than me.

Honestly, unless you have a PHD in math I'd let it be. What is used often will be in dynamic memory not on disk anyway.
